Edit: Played until the servers closed on 8 April 2024. It is a good game, and a shame that Nintendo moved on from free online service.
Completed Octo Valley with all scrolls, reached Level 12 in multiplayer mode. Couldn't play any ranked game due to low player count.
A very fresh and interesting approach to multiplayer session shooters. The single player part was a small and fun experience with different puzzles and enemies. Unfortunately the multiplayer was often low populated so I had to find specific time slots to be able to play it. The games were usually dominated by high level players with fine tuned equipment, but I could hold my own even with less skills and experience. Some weapons are overpowered, but generally the game was balanced, and I could see a variance of weapons being used in the game.
Overall, I liked it, but it is just lacking in content and support and there is no reason to play this over Splatoon 3 at the moment of writing this. Maybe to experience the single player part, but Splatoon 3 is just generally better.
